That's the key word; "proper care". It's one thing to run 8s for limited time for specific usage with careful monitoring, and another to use 8s all the time, balls to the wall, geared stupid high, running in grass on a hot day. Because I'm sure you know someone who fits into either category, and the latter will be surprised when their system fried.
